Some tell me how such a clymer get so prominent?
Everybody had better get used to President Kerry
</sarcasm
A DemonRat wouldn't lift a finger to protect the country even if we started losing cities in nuclear fireballs and everybody had the pox. They'd sit in the ruins and blame the other party.
No! Just the appearance of moderation. Bill Clinton is the most leftwing president we've ever had. He let his unelected appointees force the most controversial aspects of the left's agenda.
One thing he had been stead fast on is his stance on the death penalty. He says he supports a moratorium on the death penalty at the federal level. Which means there would soon be a national moratorium on the death penalty, because of all the liberal social engineering judges and Supreme Court Justices he'd appoint.
He is OPPOSED to the death penalty for someone who would murder an American child, even a 5-year-old.
As the mother of a murdered 16 year old son, Jeremy Peter Flachbart, who was murdered by a sociopath wanting to see what it felt like to kill, I am APPALLED by this man who would be our president attitude toward crime victims.
He says HE FEELS MY PAIN.
BULL HOCKEY he can't feel my pain! He hasn't had a child brutally murdered. Only people who have lost a Loved One to homicide can begin to know the pain that comes from having a beloved child murdered.
There is a hole in my heart and in my life created by the brutal murder of my beloved child.
To me he is soft on crime just as dukakis who furloughed willie horton was.
His reasoning for opposing it is also faulty his stats are not accurate. Dudley Sharp with Justice For All can supply you with accurate stats if you need them. Dudley Sharp, Resource Director, Justice For All 713-935-9300
Sincerely,
In memory of Jeremy Peter Flachbart

KING: I've done a lot of shows recently dealing with the death of little children. A person who kills a 5-year-old should live?
KERRY: Larry, my instinct is to want to strangle that person with my own hands. I understand the instincts, I really do. I prosecuted people. I know what the feeling of the families is and everybody else.
But we have 111 people who have been now released from death row -- death row, let alone the rest of the prison system -- because of DNA evidence that showed they didn't commit the crime of which they were convicted.
After spending -- I myself worked to get a person out of jail who had been there for 15 years for a murder that person did not commit.
Now, our system has made mistakes, and it's been applied in a way that I think is wrong.
Secondly, I don't believe that, in the end, you advance the, sort of, level of your justice and the system of your civility as a nation -- and many other nations in the world, most of the other nations in the world, have adopted that idea, that the state should not engage in killing.
(APPLAUSE)
Because they have very bad memories of what happens when the state engages in killing.

How true. Kerry is a dud who generated NO interest in the Dem primaries until Dean imploded.
He's had it easy since then because all the candidates focused their attacks on Bush. Kerry really has not been tested.
I believe he will be a much weaker candidate than expected.. but the Bush campaign MUST define him as the extreme liberal flip-flopping opportunist he really is.
I can't wait to see who Kerry picks, it's going to be fun imagining whoever it is going up against Cheney in the debates. :o)
I think this is the most important thing that will hurt Kerry. He didn't go through a tough campaign. He didn't have a major opponent after Dean cut his own throat. It would have been good practice in the general campaign to have had more of a fight in the primaries.
But I'm not a talking head on Fox News so what do I know?
Most of what Toesucker says, I take with a grain of salt, but I think he's right about this. It would help Dubya immeasurably for the voters to see an end in sight. I don't know if it's possible, necessarily, and I wouldn't support anything that puts our troops at greater risk, but I can't help but think it would help.
You mean Kerry's been AWOL from his Senate responsibilities? ;o)
If Kerry hasn't taken his responsibilities seriously as a Senator,we sure can't trust him in a more important position.
Q: Would you mind telling me who you voted for?
A: John Kerry.
Q: Why do you like Kerry?
A: Duh! I guess I don't know much about him, but the polls say he can beat Bush.
